Although we haven't cracked a GWR yet we have some good times trying

Well we tend to do one every two or three weeks, as long as there aren't too many Zone 1s and other challenges going on at that time, so you'd be welcome to join us - the more the merrier I say.
We did have 2 attempts at Easter in the space of 8 days......
GWR V is in the melting pot, keep your eyes peeled......

Kevin, with the number of challenges that some people round here do, it really would not surprise me if someone were going out and doing a 275 every two weeks.

I think that I will do one more GWR attempt this year before Children in Need. So I will have done 5 full network attempts in 52 weeks, so my average will be one every 10.4 weeks.
As for alternative challenges I believe that Dr Who has probably done the most of these in the last 12 months and must have an average close to one every two weeks.

As far as I know, I'm the only person who's taken on the 'All London Boroughs' challenge, so there's a very easy record there for the taking.

I'm desperate to claim one record and the only way to get one is to create another random challenge that only about 3 people will ever attempt! Either that or perhaps we could have special veterans records just for me & Kev
